Anaesthetic Scavenging System Page vii

1 Introduction
Pneumatech MGS AGSS Plant are designed to remove exhaled anaesthetic gas mixtures from
operating theatres, anaesthetic rooms and recovery areas. The Pneumatech MGS AGSS plant is the
vacuum source for this active system removal. The plant consists of either a Simplex (single) or
Duplex (double) lateral channel exhauster, with its impellor directly mounted on the motor shaft. The
unit is driven by either a single or three phase motor. The plant size is determined by the number of
terminal units to be serviced by the plant.
The AGSS connects to the patients breathing circuit through an AGSS receiving system and removes
expired anaesthetic gas from its source. Pneumatech MGS AGSS is designed to comply with HTM
2022, HTM 02-01, BS 6834 and BS EN 7396-2.

The Pneumatech MGS AGSS consists of:

exhauster(s)
starter
vacuum regulating valve (installed downstream of the plant to ensure the system performs
safely and efficiently)
exhaust condensation trap (provided with all interconnecting pipe-work, wiring and an
operating and indicating system)
Waste anaesthetic gas, diluted by room air within the receiving system, is transmitted by vacuum
generated in the exhauster system. The vacuum levels in the pipeline installation and flow rates at
the terminal units are controlled by flow regulating valves. Waste gas is discharged to atmosphere via
the pipeline installation.
Page 1 Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems

The Simplex plant consists of an exhauster unit (which is controlled remotely) and a flow regulator
valve.
The Duplex plant incorporates two pumps that can operate on either a Duty or Standby basis.
During periods of high demand, the Standby pump operates and assists the Duty pump. If the Duty
pump fails, the Standby pump automatically takes over as the Duty pump.
A Duplex plant ensures increased reliability and confidence in the system, prolonging the pump life.

operated within Pneumatech MGS.

5 Technical Information
5.1 Principle of Operation
Assuming the pump has been correctly sized, it will continuously maintain 125 mbar, irrespective of
the number of outlets in use. If the pump is overloaded, the vacuum falls and triggers the red PUMP
FAILED indication at 65 mbar. Should the pump fail mechanically, for any reason, the PUMP FAILED
indication will illuminate.
The Side Channel Compressor is normally used to create vacuum on an AGSS system. As the
compressor impellor rotates, centrifugal force moves air from the root of the vanes into the body
channel. This air flows around the contour of the body channel back to the root of the succeeding
blade. This process is repeated several times and similar to multi-stage compression.
5.2 Performance
Pneumatech MGS AGSS plants are designed in accordance with BS 6834: 1987 and are required to
give a constant flow rate to between a maximum of 130 l/min with a 1 kPa resistance to flow and a
minimum of 80 l/min with 4 kPa resistance flow at each terminal unit irrespective of the number of
terminal units.
The Pneumatech MGS AGSS plant must be carefully matched to the system design to ensure that
the parameters given are not exceeded.

6 Installation and Commissioning

6.1 Introduction
The Pneumatech MGS AGSS Plant is normally positioned in the plant room where the connections
are made for the electrical supply, system and exhaust pipe-work.
The system must be balanced after the factory pre-set regulating valve has been installed, to ensure
that the performance meets the requirements of BS 6834: 1987. HTM 2022 recommends that no
more than four terminal units shall be regulated by one valve. Consequently larger systems will
require several regulating valves which may be arranged in a manifold configuration at the plant or
designed into the distribution pipe-work to achieve a balanced system.
6.2 Simplex plant

The pump is intended to be used with AGSS outlets with a maximum resistance to flow of 70 bar @
130 l/min. The pipe-work installation must be sized to minimise pressure drop, the maximum
pressure drop with all outlets in use is 50 mbar. The exhaust should be kept as short as possible,
using large diameter pipe to minimise back pressure.
Before attempting to start the plant, check the installation of the following:
1. All pipes are connected/ unions made and general mechanical security of the plant.
2. Check that the electrical connections have been made correctly.
3. Check that the exhaust pipeline from the exhauster unit is routed to discharge the waste gas
in a safe area outside the building. Ensure that the AGSS Warning Notice part no. 25031 is
permanently displayed at the discharge point.
Pneumatech MGS AGSS Plants are subjected to a series of tests in accordance with HTM 2022/02-
01, British Standards and CE regulations, including visual inspections and pressure tests.

9.1 General
Overheating or ingress of dirt are the main causes of failure:-
Overheating due to:-
1. Restricted ventilation or dirt and fluff accumulating on the pump.
2. The relief valve having been reset to overcome a restriction elsewhere in the system.
3. Restricted exhaust pipework causing back pressure.
Ingress
1. Dirt and rubble to the pump inlet during installation.
2. Liquid, due to terminal units being incorrectly utilised.
NOTE: Failure through misuse or abuse may not be repairable and is not covered by the
Manufacturers warranty.
9.2 PUMP FAILED lamp illuminates (red)

If the red PUMP FAILED lamp illuminates, check that:
